Can wood ash be used for gardenia?

1. Can it be used?

Gardenia is a very delicate flower and is relatively troublesome to care for. It will feel it if you add a little wood ash to it. Because the plant likes to grow in acidic soil, and wood ash is an alkaline substance, the two are not compatible. If added at will, the soil will become alkaline, and the plant will also have an adverse reaction. Gradually, its growth will become weaker, the leaves will turn yellow, and the flowers will not be able to bloom. Although wood ash contains potassium fertilizer, it is best not to use it on gardenias.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Light: It does not like to grow under direct sunlight, which will make its leaves turn yellow and dry, but it must not be exposed to sunlight, which will hinder the growth of the plant. Therefore, during daily maintenance, you must choose a good location so that the plant can be exposed to sunlight. In summer, provide shade in time to prevent sun exposure.

2. Fertilization: It likes nutrients very much, so when caring for it, pay attention to adding fertilizers in time. Do not add too much at one time. Too high a concentration will be unsuitable for growth. You can add it in small amounts, as often as possible.
